PARTHENOS-project.eu Common Policies
Goal is to:
Agree on and define the concepts of Policy, Guidelines, Best practice, their objectives and target audience
Produce a coherent, authoritative, well accepted set of policies/guidelines/toolsTask objectives concerning the management of data lifecycle and related issues such as IPR and quality.
Parthenos Flagship Expected Results:
Guidelines on data management PARTHENOS-project.eu 4
Stakeholders
1) History in a broad sense: including Medieval Studies, Recent History, Art History, Epigraphy
2) Language-related Studies including Literature, Linguistics, Philology, Language Technology
3) Archaeology, Heritage & Applied Disciplines including Cultural Heritage, Archives, Libraries, Museums, Preservation / Conservation experts, Digital curation / edition / publishing
4) Social Sciences in a broad sense: Sociology, Political Science, Geography, Anthropology, Cultural Studies Task objectives

Enable research questions Make research data Provide policy and to be answered available guidelines for repository,
More & better! More & better! data and metadata.
Conduct foresight studies
PARTHENOS-project.eu 7 Common Policies: Approach
The results of the effort of our work should have a long-term impact on common policies and guidelines on research data management, IPR, Open Access and Open data and how to implement them within the Humanities.
An inventory of existing policies from the different infrastructures has been made. (Matrix)
D3.1 represents the result of desk research and theoretical background giving guidelines and case studies to the researchers. The FAIR principles are used as a connecting backbone, making it easy to access the results.
The outcomes of this deliverable will be made more useful and reusable by creating an interactive guide (web tool) to present the results: The wizard.
There is a need to define and test the requirements for shared policies

Common Vision
• Help researchers to make their data of better quality, interoperable, sharable, findable and reusable (FAIR principles) • Agree on and define what policies, guidelines and best practice are. • Overview of existing policies in the Parthenos disciplines, for different data lifecycle phases • Find the commonalities between disciplines in the humanities in terms of policies, RDM and IPR, open access • Find the gaps: what disciplines are advanced in terms of policies and what are not • Give recommendation and guidance to researchers • Give recommendation and guidance to data archives • Give recommendations and guidance to cultural heritage institutions • Give recommendations and guidance to research infra structures

PARTHENOS-project.eu Open and FAIR Data in Trusted Data Repositories
Data does not only need to be Open Data must also be FAIR
Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable
And must remains so, and therefore should be preserved in a DSA Certified Trusted Digital Repository
PARTHENOS-project.eu Perfect Couple
FAIR principles for data quality DSA criteria for quality of TDR
minimal set of community agreed guiding principles to make data more easily findable, accessible, appropriately integrated and re- usable, and adequately citable.
• A perfect couple for quality assessment of research data and trustworthy data repositories • Ideally: a DSA certified archive will contain FAIR data
PARTHENOS-project.eu 13 FAIR Data Principles
In the FAIR Data approach, data should be:
Findable – Easy to find by both humans and computer systems and based on mandatory description of the metadata that allow the discovery of interesting datasets; Accessible – Stored for long term such that they can be easily accessed and/or downloaded with well-defined license and access conditions (Open Access when possible), whether at the level of metadata, or at the level of the actual data content; Interoperable – Ready to be combined with other datasets by humans as well as computer systems; Reusable – Ready to be used for future research and to be processed further using computational methods.

PARTHENOS-project.eu Everybody loves FAIR!
Everybody wants to be FAIR… But what does that mean? How to put the principles into practice?

PARTHENOS-project.eu From census of policies to recommendations
PARTHENOS-project.eu 18 PARTHENOS high-level recommendations
Overview of existing policies and recommendations concerning the quality of (meta)data and repositories, IPR, Open data and Open access. They are revisited and mapped onto the FAIR Principles.
The result: a set of high-level PARTHENOS recommendations
PARTHENOS-project.eu 19 FAIR structuring principles
PARTHENOS High level principle: Accessible
- FAIR: Defined by long term storage and access. Well defined licence and access conditions on level of metadata and data content - DSA criteria: Data are accessible - Matrix: Data re-use - Policies: Conditions of use eg of DANS - Use case: Mary wants to use data and she finds licence policies telling her about the conditions of use. - PARTHENOS data model: SSK toolkit (standards: DC) and training modules on the website about data and metadata
PARTHENOS-project. eu 20 PARTHENOS high-level recommendations: Accessible
Examples: • (Meta)data should be open as possible and closed as necessary • Protected data and personal data must be available through a controlled and documented procedure. Information that needs to be protected, for example for privacy reasons, should not be part of the publicly accessible (meta)data but should be recorded as part of the documentation of the resource in restricted contexts. • In order to be fully accessible, research data should be fully accessible via (free) exchange protocols. • Maintain the integrity and quality of data. This is a general principle, that emerged in particular from the interviews with historians. It refers to the necessity to maintain the richness and the context of the data created and collected during time
